susandennis | There's reality and then there's tracking

I use my Albuterol inhaler when I have breathing issues. I told my doctor that I only used it once a week or less. I use benzonatate when I have a coughing spell. Again once a week or less. I now take an allergy pill when my nose runs. Once a day.

Well... I started tracking all these things and, turns out, my perception is not that close to reality!

I use my inhaler maybe once every other week at best. I take a benzonatate maybe once every other week. I do take an allergy pill nearly every day but not every day.

So weird. My personal data tracking skills suck. I can't be trusted!

And, speaking of people who can't be trusted... in mid-January, SteveTheLawyer sent an email and called to say he'd be sending one major distribution from my cousin's estate at the end of January and another at the end of March. Yeah, right. It is now closing in on mid-March and we have heard nada. And our email requests for updates have been ignored.

So this morning I called. He said he was with a client and saw my name and wanted to answer. He uses this ploy often so he doesn't get chit chat. fine by me. I just want his lie du jour. "I'll have your money to you by Friday."

I said fine and hung up.

Will I see that money on Friday? If I had spare cash, I'd lay a bet and my money would be on not hearing another anything from him until I call him again next Monday. But, of course... I have no spare cash.

I feel like I have forgotten - what *is* the holdup on the disbursement of funds? Did he ever have a real reason? Is he lazy? or is he holding on to those funds and betting on the horses?
